Cubasonic: a mass musical disruption coming to the capital

The biggest mass performance we’ve ever done!

Wellington Batucada is absolutely thrilled to have been invited by Wellington composer John Psathas to take part in Cubasonic – his original score for over 500 musicians written especially for this year’s CubaDupa.

We’ve been learning and rehearsing our part in this epic piece since November and we’re really excited to be involved. The score is nothing like anything we’ve ever played before, which makes it fascinating and an excellent challenge to get our heads around.

John Psathas and CubaDupa director Gerry Paul were interviewed on Radio New Zealand this week. Have a listen and get excited about what’s to come – it’s gonna be huge!

The CubaSonic performance times are Saturday 28th March at 5:00pm and Sunday 29th March at 2:30pm. The location is… Cuba Street! There’s more information here – CubaSonic Facebook page.

We are really looking forward to it. We had a rehearsal with many of the other musicians (and John Psathas the composer) at Avalon Studios last night, and it’s sounding amazing. I think it’s going to be quite the spectacle. We will see you there 🙂
